Prayer Times in Ploieşti, Romania

Prayer times in Ploieşti

There are around 10 hours and 16 minutes between sunrise and sunset in Ploieşti today. That number is the one driving the whole timetable: lengthen the day and Isha moves back, shorten it and the afternoon prayers crowd together.

The direction of prayer

Turn south-south-east, about 150°, for the qibla. That puts the Kaaba roughly 2,904 km — 1,804 miles — from here.

Where these times come from

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

If you are fasting

Stop eating by 5:09 am; break the fast at 5:07 pm. That is about 11 hours and 58 minutes on today's times. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

A walk through today's times

It starts in the dark, with Fajr at 5:09 am. By 6:51 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 12:00 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:24 pm. Maghrib is prayed at 5:07 pm as the light goes, then Isha at 6:37 pm. Sunrise to sunset, today runs about 10 hours and 16 minutes.

How much the times move

Ploieşti sees a large seasonal spread — very early summer Fajr times, a very late Isha, then a tightly packed winter day. The month view below is the reliable way to keep track.

The last third of the night

Between Isha at 6:37 pm and Fajr at 5:09 am there are about 10 hours and 32 minutes. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.
